🔸 Why did Porsche hire a rally driver for a circuit race? 🤯

The 1970 Targa Florio was no ordinary race. 🏎️💨 It was 71 km of mountain roads, full of potholes, with no run-off areas and constant danger. That’s why John Wyer did something crazy: he put the King of the Monte Carlo Rally, Björn Waldegård, in a prototype, the ultralight Gulf-Porsche 908/03.

The result? A historic 5th place, improvising on the Sicilian tarmac.
